  I think the reason they drop these things is that the project leaders move on and one one wants to take that job anymore. If there is no one to push it, no one cares and it gets axed. The person that setup Google+ probably wasn’t around after it launched, so momentum was just completely lost.

  Calling them greedy gives them more credit than the apathy they had to begin with.

  Added the ability to save a specific frame of a video as a steam screenshot

  I was actually using snipping tool for this as it was missing. Being able to get a screenshot of something after the fact is a nice feature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slack Will Begin Deleting Older Content From Free Workspaces⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This change has basically no effect for anyone on a free workspace. Since you can’t read those messages anyway. It only matters if you were going to go paid.

  I think it’s more likely that slack has decided that all free workspaces that would upgrade, probably have, and they don’t want to store all those messages that aren’t going to be read anyway.

  Strangely player numbers are up. Usually when you see it drop to 3 figures it won’t go back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These racing game players are 11 days into an exhausting race to climb a deadly tower⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s insanely hard compared to the first (only 12 people finished that one.) I think it’s nice that the streamers cheer eachother on, normal races can make it competitive but everyone knows that they can fail that same jump just as easily.

  I was not expecting it to last quite this long tho.
